Complications of Hair Transplatation
Possible Complications Associated with Hair Transplantation Procedures
Possible complications associated with hair transplantation procedures may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Sometimes, the growth of newly placed hair has a patchy look, especially if it is placed next to a thinning area. This can often be corrected by additional surgery.
- Tension on the scalp from some of the scalp reduction techniques can result in wide scars and/or bleeding.
- Occasionally, there is a chance that the graft may not "take." If this is the case, surgery must be repeated.
- As with any surgical procedure, there is the risk of infection.
